Brazilia pilot's
 

Tell me the good and the bad about her. How hard is the training and the learning of the systems. If givin a choice of either CRJ with long reserve time or Brazilia with very little reserve and lots of flying. What would you do?
Thanks in advance.....

BRASILIA............don't be afraid of the props!....j.k. See your other post on advice. What else do you want to know specifically?

Take the 120 because it will teach you how to fly. Jumping straight into a jet will cost you a lot of stick and rudder experience that you would have got in the 120.

If you are worried about how hard training will be, maybe you are not ready for an airline job or you are in the wrong business altogether.

Sorry to be frank.

The Bro is the way to go. My only complaint is that every time you touch the power, you have to adjust rudder trim.

Nice point. Worrying about failure is setting yourself up to fail, why fail? If it is hard, study more and work harder, right?

I would say do the bro to get off reserve faster. You can make a lot more money and get good flight time flying a line on the bro, instead of sitting reserve in the jet getting minimum monthly guarantee.

I respectfully disagree, worrying is perfectly natural before you start airline training. Tell me you weren't worried before your first sim ride. I know captains that have been doing PCs for years that still get worried. It's your body's natural defense mechanism to make you study. While I agree with Juice, I don't think it means that you're not ready for an airline job or the business.

The Jet is boring dude. Long live the Bro!

TAKE THE EMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've done my stint on the jet and someday I'll head back but not because I'm excited about flying them, the money's better, but I love the EMB! It will teach you MUCH more than the RJ will (stick and rudder, Wx flying because your fly lower, lots of legs, she's old so the automation is the FO, LOL! Etc).

As for training, it's not hard.....................it's not hard at all. It's just a lot of memorization with application. You've been doing it successfully up until now so it shouldn't be a surprise. Just study with our classmates and if you don't understand something...............ASK QUESTIONS either in class, on your breaks or after hours. If you don't then failing is truly your fault. SKW wants EVERYONE to pass and you’d have to be a real idiot introvert to fail out as an FO.

Yep...failure rate in my class at Trans States? ~50%...At SkyWest? Approximately 0%.

Don't worry about ground-school. Be a good student, have a good attitude, and you'll get through.
